KUNMING Cheap Koke Jersey , Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Forest rangers and police in southwest China's Yunnan Province are struggling to control a wild elephant that has launched three attacks on parked cars on a major highway in four days.

Its latest rampage along the G213 highway linking Yunnan with northwest China's Gansu Province came on Monday afternoon, when it damaged nine cars, forest police in Xishuangbanna Prefecture told Xinhua.

The elephant, nicknamed Zhusunya (Bamboo Shoot Teeth), had already crushed or damaged almost 20 cars in two strolls on the highway on Friday and Sunday. There have been no human casualties from its sorties Cheap Kevin Gameiro Jersey , near the nature reserve Yexianggu (Wild Elephant Valley).

After receiving a report from the reserve at 4:40 p.m. on Monday, police officers closed the affected section of the highway, guided traffic and evacuated tourists.

The animal returned to nearby woods at around 11 p.m.

Bamboo Shoot Teeth, a lone male elephant, may have been angry over a lost fight for mate Cheap Juanfran Jersey , local elephant protection workers said.

A forest police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the animal may also have been provoked by increased presence of humans in its habitat around the Spring Festival holiday.

Though Xishuangbanna has reserved special passageways for elephants on many roads, they must cross the highway that divides the eastern and western parts of the reserve.

During the Spring Festival, G213 traffic peaked and many tourists illegally parked their cars on the roadside Cheap Jose Gimenez Jersey , the officer said.

He suggested enlarging local parking lots and that tourists visit the reserve by bus rather than car.

Staff from the reserve told Xinhua that local authorities have deployed specialists to track the whereabouts of wild elephants, and will warn tourists and villagers once they find any elephants moving to the main road.

Wild Asian elephants are a level one nationally protected species in China, with less than 300 in the country.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny cleared the first hurdle on Sunday towards taking part in next year's presidential election, even though the central election commission has previously ruled him ineligible to run.

Navalny, 41 Cheap Jan Oblak Jersey , is a fierce opponent of President Vladimir Putin, who is widely expected to win re-election in March, extending his 17 years in power.

On Sunday Navalny, a veteran campaigner against corruption among Russia's elite, won the initial support of 742 people at a gathering in a district of Moscow Cheap Guilherme Siqueira Jersey , above the minimum 500 required to initiate a presidential bid.

"There is no large-scale support for Putin and his rule in this country," Navalny told the gathering, describing himself as a "real candidate" for the election and threatening a boycott of the vote by his supporters if he is barred again.

But Navalny now needs to be officially registered as a candidate by Russia's central election commission, which has previously said he is ineligible due to a suspended prison sentence that he says was politically motivated.

Navalny has been jailed three times this year on charges of repeatedly organizing public meetings and rallies in violation of existing laws. He says the Kremlin is deliberately trying to thwart his political ambitions.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in October that Navalny's 2014 fraud conviction was "arbitrary" and ordered Moscow pay compensation.

On Saturday Russia's ruling party United Russia pledged "all possible support" to the 65-year-old Putin in his bid to win a further six years in power in the March election.

Also on Saturday the Russian Communist Party named its presidential candidate, Pavel Grudinin Cheap Gabi Jersey , 57. The party came second after United Russia in the 2016 parliamentary elections.

On Sunday Russian property developer Sergei Polonsky, who has been convicted of defrauding investors, also secured enough initial backing to seek clearance from the election commission to take part in the presidential race.

Others planning to run include television personality Ksenia Sobchak, whose late father was Putin's boss in the early 1990s and journalist Ekaterina Gordon.
